U2

One of the best concerts I ever visited was the U2 concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany while my favorite Band was on the Vertigo Tour. From the very first to the very last last song it really was a very powerful concert. The band´s wish and ability to get a directlinkage to the crowd was unbelievable as well as U2´s setlist:

  2. Beautiful Day
  3. The Cry
  4. The Electric Co. / Bullet With Butterfly Wings (snippet) / I Can See For Miles (snippet)
  5. Elevation
  6. New Year’s Day
  7. City Of Blinding Lights
  8. Miracle Drug
  9. Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own / No Regrets (snippet)
  10. Love And Peace Or Else
  11. Sunday Bloody Sunday
  12. Bullet The Blue Sky / When Johnny Comes Marching Home (snippet) / The Hands That Built America (snippet) / Please (snippet)
  13. Running To Stand Still
  14. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
  15. Where The Streets Have No Name
  16. One

    17. encore(s):

  17. Zoo Station
  18. The Fly
  19. Mysterious Ways / My Sweet Lord (snippet)
  20. With Or Without You
  21. All Because Of You
  22. Yahweh
  23. Party Girl
  24. Vertigo

… our moment of U2:


“Hello, hello (¡Hola!)
I’m at a place called Vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something
I can feel, feel…”

- U2, Vertigo



“A soldier asked for a cigarette
His smiling face I can’t forget
He looked like you across the street
But that’s a long way here”And I wish you were here
And I wish you were here”
- U2, Stranger in a Strange Land

“I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it one more chance,
This time “
- U2, Every Minute, Every Hour

 

“Don’t wish
Don’t fish
Don’t teach
Don’t reach
I feel numb
Don’t borrow Too much is not enough”
- U2, Numb

 

“Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won’t let you in”
